Guatemalan pygmy owl (left) and red-chested owlet (right); illustration by Keulemans, 1875 Ferruginous pygmy owl. Pygmy owls are members of the genus Glaucidium. They belong to the typical owl family, Strigidae. The genus consists of 29 species distributed worldwide. These are mostly small owls, and some of the species are called "owlets".

Unless otherwise noted, the species on this list are considered to occur regularly in Mexico as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants.
